33The following macro has been deprecated since OpenSSL 3.0, and can be
34hidden entirely by defining B<OPENSSL_API_COMPAT> with a suitable version value,
35see L<openssl_user_macros(7)>:

37 #define X509_NAME_hash(x) X509_NAME_hash_ex(x, NULL, NULL, NULL)
38
39=head1 DESCRIPTION
40
41X509_NAME_hash_ex() returns a hash value of name I<x> or 0 on failure,
42using any given library context I<libctx> and property query I<propq>.
43The I<ok> result argument may be NULL
44or else is used to return 1 for success and 0 for failure.
45Failure may happen on malloc error or if no SHA1 implementation is available.
46
47X509_NAME_hash() returns a hash value of name I<x> or 0 on failure,
48using the default library context and default property query.
49
50X509_get_subject_name() returns the subject name of certificate I<x>. The
51returned value is an internal pointer which B<MUST NOT> be freed.
52
53X509_set_subject_name() sets the issuer name of certificate I<x> to
54I<name>. The I<name> parameter is copied internally and should be freed
55up when it is no longer needed.
56
57X509_subject_name_hash() returns a hash value of the subject name of
58certificate I<x>.
59
60X509_get_issuer_name(), X509_set_issuer_name(), and X509_issuer_name_hash()
61are identical to
62X509_get_subject_name(), X509_set_subject_name(), and X509_subject_name_hash()
63except they relate to the issuer name of I<x>.
64
65Similarly X509_REQ_get_subject_name(), X509_REQ_set_subject_name(),
66X509_CRL_get_issuer() and X509_CRL_set_issuer_name() get or set the subject
67or issuer names of certificate requests of CRLs respectively.
68
69=head1 RETURN VALUES
70
71X509_get_subject_name(), X509_get_issuer_name(), X509_REQ_get_subject_name()
72and X509_CRL_get_issuer() return an B<X509_NAME> pointer.
73
74X509_NAME_hash_ex(), X509_NAME_hash(),
75X509_subject_name_hash() and X509_issuer_name_hash()
76return the first four bytes of the SHA1 hash value,
77converted to B<unsigned long> in little endian order,
78or 0 on failure.
79
80X509_set_subject_name(), X509_set_issuer_name(), X509_REQ_set_subject_name()
81and X509_CRL_set_issuer_name() return 1 for success and 0 for failure.
82
83=head1 BUGS
84
85In case X509_NAME_hash(), X509_subject_name_hash(), or X509_issuer_name_hash()
86returns 0 it remains unclear if this is the real hash value or due to failure.
87Better use X509_NAME_hash_ex() instead.

107=head1 HISTORY
108
109X509_REQ_get_subject_name() is a function in OpenSSL 1.1.0 and a macro in
110earlier versions.
111
112X509_CRL_get_issuer() is a function in OpenSSL 1.1.0. It was previously
113added in OpenSSL 1.0.0 as a macro.
114
115X509_NAME_hash() was turned into a macro and deprecated in OpenSSL 3.0.
